  • Canada Announces That It Is Ratifying the Canada-UK Trade Continuity
    https://www.canada.ca/en/global-affairs/news/2021/03/minister-ng-announces-canada-is-ratifying- the-canada-united-kingdom-trade-continuity-agreement.html Minister Ng announces Canada is ratifying the Canada-United Kingdom Trade Continuity Agreement From: Global Affairs Canada News release March 19, 2021 - Ottawa, Ontario - Global Affairs Canada Canada and the United Kingdom share a profound and positive relationship – one that is built on shared history and values, and strong economic and people-to-people ties. Today, the Honourable Mary Ng, Minister of Small Business, Export Promotion and International Trade, during a call with Elizabeth Truss, the United Kingdom’s Secretary of State for International Trade, announced that Canada is ratifying the Canada-United Kingdom (U.K.) Trade Continuity Agreement (TCA). This announcement follows the Royal Assent of Bill C-18: An Act to implement the Agreement on Trade Continuity between Canada and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in the House of Commons. The Canada-U.K. TCA will provide Canadian exporters and businesses with continued preferential access to the U.K. market and 98% of Canadian products will continue to be exported to the UK tariff-free. The agreement provides much needed predictability and stability, and will support workers and businesses on both sides of the Atlantic. Canada and the U.K. are taking all necessary steps required to implement this agreement for April 1, 2021. As the Canada-U.K. TCA is meant to be an interim measure, Canada and the U.K. look forward to engaging in future negotiations on a new, high-standard and ambitious free trade agreement that will best reflect the bilateral relationship and trade priorities.

  • Canada-United Kingdom Trade Continuity Agreement Economic Impact Assessment December 9, 2020
    Canada-United Kingdom Trade Continuity Agreement Economic Impact Assessment December 9, 2020 Summary The Canada-United Kingdom Trade Continuity Agreement (CANADA-UK TCA) replicates the Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) on a bilateral basis. The CANADA-UK TCA, therefore, is meant to maintain the status quo in the Canada-U.K. trade relationship. In order to examine the impact of the CANADA-UK TCA, we must analyze the potential economic impact of a situation where no CANADA-UK TCA is in place and the U.K. is no longer part of the CETA. The United Kingdom officially left the European Union (EU) on January 31, 2020, and CETA will cease to apply to Canada–U.K. trade on January 1, 2021. To avoid a gap in preferential trade access into each other’s markets, Canada and the United Kingdom negotiated a trade continuity agreement - the CANADA- UK TCA - that provides Canadian exporters, services providers, and farmers with continued preferential access to the U.K. market carried over from CETA. CETA removed 98% of tariffs on Canadian goods and over time will remove approximately 99% of tariffs, in addition to the other CETA benefits including improved access for services, greater certainty and transparency, protection for investments and intellectual property. In the absence of CANADA-UK TCA, bilateral trade between the two countries would be governed by the World Trade Organization (WTO) rules alone, and goods trade between the United Kingdom and Canada would be subject to WTO most-favoured nation (MFN) duties. In May 2020, the United Kingdom announced the applied MFN tariffs, which it refers to as the UK Global Tariff (UKGT), that would take effect on January 1, 2021.

It examines how missionaries acquired and utilized local properties, demonstrating how property acquisitions provided a testing ground for Sino-Western relations. While historians have typically focused on the ways that missionaries affected Chinese populations and policies, I instead argue that living and attempting to gain influence in Guangdong altered missionaries’ tactics and strategies in ways that had far-reaching consequences. The government of China (which over the course of my study changed from an empire to a republic) consistently attempted to restrict foreign missions’ right to purchase Chinese properties.

  • Submission to Global Affairs Canada on Canada-UK Consultations
    Sent via email to [email protected] April 27, 2021 Canada-U.K. Trade Consultations Trade Policy and Negotiations Division (TCA) Global Affairs Canada Thank you for the opportunity to participate in Global Affairs Canada’s consultations on a free trade agreement with the United Kingdom and its possible accession to the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP). As one of Canada’s most important trading partners outside the United States, the UK is critical to Canada achieving its trade diversification objectives. With a longstanding set of shared values and commitment to rules-based trading systems, Canada’s relationship to the UK is unique. Furthermore, because this consultation is focused on leveraging existing trade agreement architecture, the Chamber encourages Global Affairs Canada to move as expeditiously as possible in these discussions. In the case of our bilateral discussions with the UK, we will be able to use the current Trade Continuity Agreement as the starting point for negotiations, whereas with CPTPP the UK would be joining an operational regional trade agreement. The Chamber fully supports the government moving ahead on both fronts. This submission outlines key issues that have been identified by our members. The nature of CPTPP being an existing trade agreement means there is less room for adaptation, but we provide these thematic issues for the government’s considerations in both forums where we will be negotiating with the UK. Services Digital trade: Since the CETA’s negotiation, global discussions on digital trade rules have taken on a much greater focus in bilateral and plurilateral contexts.

  • LEAVING HOME: Chinese Migrations in the Mid-Late 19Th Century
    Underwood Archives/Getty Images LEAVING HOME: Chinese Migrations in the Mid-Late 19th Century Jack Patrick Hayes, PhD INTRODUCTION In China, there is an old saying that “a thousand days at home are good; a day away from home is hard.”1 The saying was attributed to Confucius, whose philosophy emphasized the importance of family and respecting one’s elders. That meant staying close to home. For centuries, people in China tried to heed that advice. But starting in the mid-19 th century, millions of Chinese pulled up stakes and left for unfamiliar and faraway places, both within and beyond China’s borders. Why and how did this happen? This introduction to Chinese migration looks at some of the factors that caused so many people to move—economic, demographic, technological, social, political, and other factors. Some factors played a direct role; others played an indirect, but still very important, role. It also looks at different types of migration and the consequences for those who migrated, those who were left behind, and the places that became their new homes away from home. Confucius was correct that being away from home is hard. Yet migration was a path that millions of Chinese people took in the mid-19 th century. By examining the causes and consequences of this migration, we can better understand the major events and changes happening during this period, both in China and in the wider world. It also helps us think about similarities and differences with migration in other countries and at other periods of time, including today.

  • Democracy, Donald Trump and the Canada-US Security Community
    Canadian Journal of Political Science (2020), 1–21 doi:10.1017/S0008423920000542 RESEARCH ARTICLE/ÉTUDE ORIGINALE Democracy, Donald Trump and the Canada-US Security Community Wilfrid Greaves* Wilfrid Greaves, Department of Political Science, University of Victoria, 3800 Finnerty Rd., Victoria, BC V8P5C2 *Corresponding author. Email: [email protected] Abstract This article examines Canada-US relations through their shared membership in a plural- istic security community (PSC). While the bilateral relationship has been turbulent for decades, the Trump presidency has damaged the Canada-US PSC by (1) exacerbating a decades-long trend of weakened shared identity and mutual trust between Canadians and Americans, and (2) undermining the democratic norms and institutions that uphold American domestic stability and Canadians’ expectations of peaceful change. Assessing the combined implications of the decline in shared identity, mutual trust and democratic stability, I argue that the Canada-US PSC cannot endure if the United States does not also consider Canada’s national and security interests or if the United States itself poses a threat to those interests. Given current trends, the future absence of war in North America may reflect American domination over a weaker and dependent Canada rather than their continued membership in a bilateral PSC. Résumé Cet article examine les relations canado-américaines à travers leur appartenance à une communauté pluraliste de la securité (CPS). Alors que les relations bilatérales ont été mouvementées pendant des décennies, la présidence Trump a porté préjudice à la CPS Canada-États-Unis 1) en exacerbant une tendance à l’affaiblissement de l’identité commune et de la confiance mutuelle entre Canadiens et Américains qui dure depuis des décennies, et 2) en sapant les normes et institutions démocratiques qui soutiennent la stabilité intérieure américaine et les attentes des Canadiens en matière de changement pacifique.
